What happens when three buffoons give life advice,
explore unrealistic situations,
and give random topics more thought than they probably deserve?
It's the Spitballers Podcast podcast with andy mike and jason i'm so happy right now you were starting cars i thought he oh right was trying to talk about
ricotta cheese but he just like couldn't remember what it was called. I thought he was family guy.
The Giggity's from Family Guy.
For those who don't know what just happened.
What happened?
That is our other producer that is producer Judge Giamatti.
Al Borland is down with the flu.
Yeah, he's sick.
He keeps saying that.
We are insisting that he's just being real lazy.
He is so lazy.
So lazy.
When I think of lazy people that I know, first one that comes to mind is Al Borland.
None lazier.
Honestly, the only person that comes to mind.
Right?
I don't even know what it is apart from Al Borland.
Get better, Al, if you're really sick.
Yeah, wink.
Judge Giamatti in charge today.
Hello, spit wads. Yeah, wink. Judge Giamatti in charge today. Hello, Spitwads.
There he is.
That was my inspiration.
It was Andy Bernard from The Office there.
Oh!
Very nice.
He's got the irrigate going.
All right.
You know what?
You held it down.
This is the second time I've got to skip a scat.
I am.
Out of the blue, where I didn't even realize it moments before.
Insanely jealous about that. Yeah, Jason actually wants to skip scats, and we've never had him skip a scat. I am. Out of the blue. I didn't even realize it moments before. Insanely jealous.
Yeah, Jason actually wants to skip scats.
We've never had him skip a scat.
The next one, when it's my turn, you're going to hear the whole intro, and then we're going
to talk.
And you're going to be like, where was the scat?
I did it.
You can't do that.
Oh, I can do whatever I want when it's my scat.
Your timeline will let you know about it.
The people will be furious.
Torches.
So excited to be back with you.

We take things very seriously.
I know what we do have, guys.
We have an update.
Wait.
Bob Lothor is at it again.
Oh, did you tap the...
I did not touch him.
He's just going.
So there's Bob Lothor you can see on YouTube.
Go, Bob Lothor.
He's been known to go for hours.
It's unbelievable.
Tips don't lie.
No.
What else is going on?
Jason, we need the running update.
You said on the last episode, and I just listened to this because I just got back into town.
Our family was on a little vacation, and I listened to last week's episode, and it was very funny.
Jason, you talked about the fact that you are now moving towards thinking about running.
It was like considering thinking about running.
But then you guaranteed that you would run by the time the next Spitballers episode,
and then you spent most of the week asking us to not do any more episodes.
Right.
But then what happened?
Then here we are.
And the update is I ran.
I ran.
I put my sneakers on, and I went out and found a path and started the, I mean, I ran.
Now, we talked about jogging versus running last week.
So what was this?
This was 0% running.
Okay.
This was jogs and walks.
But I went two miles.
I'm very interested in this.
You traveled two miles.
2.02.
No Ubering. That's correct. I traveled 2.02 miles in an Uber. went two miles i'm very interested in this you traveled two miles two point no ubering that's
correct i traveled 2.02 miles in an uber but you're saying like i found a path yes dude i'm like i
want you to elaborate this because yeah let's hear more about whenever i've gone running i've gone
outside of my house and gone which direction do i go this way that way i don't say oh i found a path so in my neighborhood apparently if you were to go
right um at the end of that street is uh is like an actual running path an actual running path
and the path takes you like down under the freeway it's unbelievable it's right in my backyard people
do this people oh there were so many people on that path exercising. It was disgusting. Do you high five each other as you run by?
No, but you do the nod.
Did you start doing the jog?
I'm one of you.
Did you start doing the jog that I do when I'm seen?
So here's the funniest part.
Go from the walk to the run?
I'm using an app, and the app is like the couch to 5K or something.
So it starts really easy.
It's 30 minutes, and it's basically what it is is it's 60
seconds of running and then 90 seconds of a brisk walk so that's and then it tells you it says okay
now run and you run for 60 seconds and then it says okay now briskly walk or whatever and so
i am off in the distance there's a bench and a guy with a bicycle is sitting there oh what a quitter and i'm sitting
there going oh no what if i'm in the walk like oh what if i'm running up to that area and it's like
now walk and i'm like well i don't want to walk in front of this guy so you would be embarrassed
to walk by the sitter well yeah he's sitting down it's but he's a human and he's gonna still judge
me yeah that's the whole point to this whole there was also another worry later on down the road i'm
getting about to the halfway point where i need to turn around and there is a we'll say very elderly
woman walking and i didn't want to pass her in a jog and then just start walking past you and well
she was walking very fast she was a fast one shout out to my my lady shirley i'm guessing um
that uh i didn't i didn't want she was a fast walker um but i didn't want to like jog past her
and then be like now walk and then just walk right in front of her.
So I turned around. Like break checking someone?
Yeah.
But I did it.
I sweat.
Is this a 5K guarantee on the way?
Is that what I, if you've got this app out there.
I will do a 5K.
There's no.
I did not say participate.
All right.
I will do one.
I will find a way to, I will put one on for people.
I will say this.
I had a time where...
He's going to.
He would rather form an organization and sponsor and create an entire 5K race than run in one.
Well, if I promise I'm doing a 5K, there's better odds of that.
There's an app.
I've used it before where it's a running.
It's a similar thing.
It's a zero.
You can do a zero to 5K or whatever, but it's a game.
It's a game that they set up where you are in a zombie apocalypse,
and you're out running, and you collect supplies.
By the further that you run, you collect more supplies,
and then they randomly have it.
You're under attack from a zombie, so you have to run.
Oh, and it tells the speed you're going?
Yeah.
It uses the GPS to track all this stuff, and there's a fully narrated story.
Why didn't you tell me this?
Because I didn't believe you would actually go for a run, so I was saving it.
Okay, well, I need that info because...
You'd run faster if zombies were after you.
I would definitely 100% run faster if I was going to have my brains eaten.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's...
All right.
Hold on, zombie.
I'm in my 60-second walk period.
Well, that's what's funny is I was very dedicated to those announcements of walk and run.
I could have just kept jogging past the bicycle guy, but it says walk.
It says walk.
I'm going to walk.
Did you point to your headphones
it's no but i'm following instructions i did look at my watch so much every time that i
every time i transitioned i was like looking at the watch and i'd touch it i'd be like yes uh i
don't need to touch this but i want everybody looking to know you needed to put the fingers
up for a pulse check yeah like as as you're passing and looking at the watch yes oh because
then you have exerted yourself beyond what your body is supposed to do.
Look, throw some references out there like, oh boy, that sunrise was so pretty this morning,
wasn't it?
All pro tips.
That's how long I've been out here.
All pro tips are welcome.
I don't know if I'll run again.
If you're going to be like 10 miles back there, be careful.
Yeah, there's a rattler on the path.
10 miles back.
All right, we're moving on.
Would you rather?
Daniel from the website submitted this question.
He said, would you rather have dirty teeth with fresh breath or clean teeth with that mouth stank?
Thank you for defining it as that mouth stank thank you for defining as that mouth stank yeah that's what he said so no question yeah now if i have dirty teeth is this so is this practical like
oh no i'm gonna get uh cavities they could hurt or does this also have to mean i also have yellow
nasty looking teeth i'm going with yellow, nasty-looking teeth.
Yeah.
But dental hygiene for both is still pristine.
Oh, so I don't have cavities in either.
No, it's not a factor.
This is just...
This is look versus smell.
Yes.
Yes.
Wow.
And here's what I'm curious about.
Is it worse to see a person with yellow teeth, like really nasty yellow teeth,
or worse to see a person that has a bunch of food stuck in their teeth?
Because in one instance, you're looking at a person that can fix a problem.
In the other, you're looking at a person that has clearly let their teeth get to some pirate state.
I mean, you just answered the question.
The worst thing is the nasty, rotted teeth.
What kind of person are you do you tell someone they have food in their teeth i'm that kind of yeah i tell them well i guess not
a random stranger maybe not okay that's what i was going to say what what any friend level
what level of friendship so acquaintance you know mike i you're putting me to the test here because i
thought i would tell people in all instances but if it's a small enough piece i've definitely gone
the route of they'll figure it out you're at church yeah someone walks up oh no you're right
i'm not saying and you go and you don't remember their name oh and but then eventually oh yeah this
is bob bob's got just a whole celery stalk between his two front teeth.
I feel like this is the same.
You're letting him live that way?
This is the same rule as the fly is down.
Like, if Bob's fly is down, I'm not telling him there either.
I feel like.
But are you telling your wife?
Or like, that Bob's fly is down?
Check it out. Maybe. look at his teeth they're disgusting
hey bob how's it going nice to see you it well it's all about how casually can you say something
like that and it feels like the fly one is much more difficult than the piece of you know
parsley in the teeth or something what you're afraid they say what were
you staring i just i just feel like i would stare at my crotch i would have to like do a symbol of
him zipping up the fly and be like the old whistle yeah just some sort of like little hey bob
bad breath would be so intimidating for any conversation if you know that it's unavoidable
you will have to awkwardly
stand you will have to move away from the close talker you will have to talk in the opposite
direction you talk away from where they're looking and you're kind of like blowing it out of your
side of your mouth um but the tea i mean the dirty tea that's that's a very self-conscious thing too both of these stink well one of them i think i would so reading this i i was sure that i was taking the uh the fresh breath with dirty
teeth but if you're if you're telling me that it's just basically like it looks just like rotten
teeth i think that you would i think i would be judged more based on rot because like if i've got
bad breath everyone from time to time has bad breath you you ate something bad or you know
it's like oh this guy doesn't normally have bad breath but he's it's a bad day he ate a poop
sandwich for lunch i don't know i don't know what he did but i was gonna go like
cilantro but it smells like it um but i think if you see someone whose teeth are just wrecked
there's like oh this dude has more serious hygiene problems so i'm gonna go with the bad breath
and the and the pearly whites.
Yeah, I lean that way too.
I'm going to open up a can.
I probably will regret opening up here.
Can't wait.
But do you ever run into that situation where somebody's got like the very, very correctable overt physical situation and you just kind of wonder why.
Are you talking about my weight no dude diet no i'm talking about like the canada-sized mole right the big hairy face mole
yes that you're like you understand that look we have it's 2020 we have the technology
to very cleanly and quickly and affordably.
We've had tweezers for a very long time as well.
Well, you're not tweezing a mole off your face.
No, but you said it was hairy.
That's true.
Good point, Mike.
You could step one is pull the hair out of it.
That's different.
Step two is remove the giant Canada-sized mole.
But maybe it's something like that or really.
But that's not as easy as you think.
I mean, we all know what it's like to go with a dermatologist.
And if you're going to get a mole removed, okay, I have to, A, find a dermatologist, which is a ridiculous thing.
Then I have to go schedule an appointment just so they can look at it and schedule another appointment to cut something off my face.
You've had 48 years to do that.
It's not as easy.
Do you get to the point where you are moving on
from caring? Is that just what's happened?
It depends on the status of your marriage.
You know what I mean?
But if you're married, then you've already...
Exactly. The moles can stay.
But if I'm
single... Do moles keep getting bigger?
If they do, that's when you're supposed to go to the dermatologist.
Please go get it removed if it is changing shapes or colors.
PSA.
Look, you learn a lot here on this show.
Life advice.
Yeah, I guess I'm always kind of...
And it feels like a really judgy thing to say.
To be like, why...
To be thinking, why don't you get that removed?
Perhaps they love their mole
no let's get out of here nobody's like i love this thing do you think they name what it was
like name them didn't marilyn monroe like she has well okay there's like a beauty crawford
had a mole you what beauty the difference between a beauty mark and a mole is diameter you calling
it a beauty no no it's diameter if you've got a tiny little thing
what's the beauty mark give me the measurement was two millimeters or if it's and under is all
right yes if it's over two millimeters in diameter then nobody's gonna be like look at my beauty mark
it's also a matter of like what else is distracting from that beauty mark mole like do you need would this
really aid your physical appearance to remove that wart please forgive my naivety here okay but if i
were to remove a large size mole on my face i imagine that leaves a scar yes so does it yes
they can't just uh freeze freeze them off i don't think so. Bing, bang, boom?
I think that's going to leave a scar.
So it's like...
A wart, you can freeze off.
What's better?
A mole, I don't think you can freeze off.
What's better, a scar or a hairy mole?
Like a natural mole or a scar?
I don't know, but my point is...
It does depend, yeah.
The point is, maybe someone would be like,
I don't want to go through the process that might just outlay
maybe the fear of pain of removing it,
only to still have a mark on your face.
You've had them all removed, right?
Oh, mercy me.
We can move on.
We can move on.
It's from a place that no one would have asked you to remove it.
Well, maybe one person.
The thunder from down under.
All right.
Is no longer there.
Is no longer there.
I'm proud to report.
All right. I's no longer there. It's no longer there. I'm proud to report. All right.
I will move on.
Hobocop from Patreon.
Okay.
A Spitwad supporter writes in this, would you rather question, would you rather every
time you blink, lose your sight for three seconds, or every time you scratch and itch,
you become paralyzed for five seconds?
So obviously- becoming paralyzed is much more severe than a blip of basically closing your eyes for three seconds.
But maybe.
Definitely.
Well, I don't have to scratch and itch.
That's the point.
I can be.
If I'm driving, I feel like the blinking one is worse
if you're driving you gotta like put on those goggles to hold your eyelids open gonna go
clockwork orange hold them open if society had this problem you would have devices that would
just moisturize your eyes for you so you don't have to go blind or or what you would do is
you'd get up you'd like quickly get to that red light and then
you'd be like, oh, thank goodness I can blink.
And then it's like a staring contest while you're going, like who's going to blink first,
you or are you going to get to that light?
Does the timer reset?
Can you get a bunch of blinks in or are you stacking up moments of blindness?
I think it's stacking up upon itself.
Oh, so if I do like five blinks, I got 15 seconds to wait?
That is correct.
Okay, that makes sense.
Well, then I'm definitely taking the paralyzation.
Or at least resets the timer.
Yeah, but if you scratch that itch twice, what is a real bad itch?
You normally need a few scratches.
You're going to be paralyzed for like 15 seconds.
I feel like this needs to be like, or paralyzed for five minutes.
Because when's the last time you've scratched an itch?
Genuinely.
All the time
no i'm not saying that like oh i'm scratching right now in years once you say that when's the
last time i'm like oh that's itchy yeah but when's the last time you blinked because it was a couple
seconds never so theoretically you might have to scratch your eye oh then you have two problems
then you're paralyzed and blind. It's a problem.
Yeah.
It has to be the itch.
Yeah. Because.
That's why he wants to make it more than five seconds.
You got to build up your mental toughness.
No, I think he's right.
Have you ever tried to itch a spot with your brain?
What?
You've never tried to do that?
What does that even mean?
That means like you have.
First of all, you meant scratch, right?
Or do you mean itch?
I mean like you have something on your arm where it's itchy.
I am itching all over now.
Right now, I can feel every ounce of my skin is itchy.
I meant scratch, but I'm saying where you have...
You're trying to conquer the itch.
Yes, you have an uncontrollable itch on your leg,
and you're like, I'm not going to scratch this.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm going to take care of it with mental fortitude.
Let's say you make this five minutes. I feel like I could go the rest of my life never scratching well i could make that decision
like i don't have to scratch the mosquitoes get you oh the mosquito would be a big problem not
itching or not scratching a mosquito bite there's no mental fortitude in the world yeah that's uh
you ever did the allergy testing? Yes.
Were they... Oh.
Do you know what I'm talking about, Jason?
No, of course.
I know what you're talking about.
Have you ever been tortured?
But I'm...
For science.
You inferior humans with your allergies.
Well, having...
Believe it or not, anybody can get the test.
You don't even have to have allergies.
Yeah, but why would you?
Like...
Good point.
I'm not allergic to anything.
Will you want to scratch my back and put a bunch of chemicals on me?
But they basically just poke a bunch of holes in your back,
teeny little marks,
and then they put a little bit of everything,
a plant or whatever.
I don't know how they put it.
Grass, cats.
They rub a cat on your back.
But then you're not allowed to scratch it.
And I just remember as a kid getting that done
and my mom would like,
you could use a magazine to waft air to try to make those itches go away, but that would be-
I feel like that would make it more intensified.
Anything but sitting in it makes it better.
Like if you are itchy right now, you are better off running around than you are standing there
itchy.
Sure.
To distract you.
I can't believe that's how we figure things out.
Do we still do that?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The scratch test is still alive and active.
And they haven't improved upon that?
Then they put the leeches on.
You know, you bring up a good point.
We've been to the moon.
Yeah.
You bring up a good point.
It's like, hey, child, here's what we're going to do.
Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke.
I'm going to poke you 40 times, and then I'm just going to pour liquid that you're allergic to.
It's like when I was first learning math, and the trial and error process was just like,
I'll find the answer by getting it wrong 100 times until it works.
I don't understand how to do this equation, but I'll just keep like, no, it's not that.
Right.
It's not that.
There's got to be a better way.
Take a vial of my blood.
Go test it.
Tell me what I'm allergic to, as opposed to, well, let's try this.
Let's see if you're allergic to cactus.
Give me a cactus.
I mean, that's what it feels like.
You can do this test at home.
That's actually exactly what the allergies sound like.
That's the weird thing.
You can do this test at home.
All right, partner, we'll going to get this figured out.
You don't need a pulmonologist.
They want to hunt rabbits.
Like, is he allergic to cats?
Yeah, I got a cat.
Come here, you host fat.
And then you just rub the cat all over it, and you say, give it 15 seconds.
Now, tell me, when I poke you with this needle, does it hurt?
You are not allergic to hypodermic needles.
Hey, this one's sharp. N. Hey, this one's sharp.
Nelda, this one's sharp.
Why are we all Yosemite sand?
I don't know.
Get your host of fat in here.
Let's see how you react to poison.
Oh, turns out you're allergic to poison.
You should get that checked.
You should get that checked.
You got another one allergic to poison.
It'll be $50.
You never believe this.
100% of people allergic to poison.
I'm getting fat, bud. So far,
we keep testing. Everybody says, I don't have
allergies. I say, take this poison.
You allergic to poison?
You sure are.
It is really sad to know that every 50 years that goes by,
you're going to look back to the science of 50 years before like we were dumb.
Every now and then I think, like, what are the things that are going on right now?
Yes, there are dumb things we're doing right now.
They're called allergy tests because they figured this out in 1870.
They said, this is good enough.
We will not improve.
It worked for Pat.
It worked for me.
You allergic to a rattlesnake?
Hold your arm out.
Yeah, looks like there's a reaction there.
Does he pull a whip out?
That was the snake.
The snake was viciously attacking.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
I don't think we need to answer anymore.
Paralyzed.
Not good.
Yeah, I'll take that.
Would you rather?
I'll take the blinking.
All right.
We have three segments.
That means I'm moving on.
That's a great question.
Matt from the website,
you can no longer see one color for the rest of your life.
What color do you choose?
Oh, can no longer see.
So you are eliminating one color from your vision forever.
This reminds me of when you run out of one of the three
vials of ink in your printer ah it affects all the other things you print right can we
take one second to just shame printer manufacturers everywhere because when i'm out of color and you
won't let me print in black and white and i've got there's plenty of black ink but i'm out of cyan and they're like
and i'm just printing black and white and i click the black and white button and it's like no not
until you replace the blue i'm like no i don't get here's an idea we gonna get rid of all the
imprinting if you run out of blue i mean that's that's... There's a snake back for some reason.
No, that's a fair shame.
That's very fair.
That should be illegal.
Yeah, and they wipe the tears of shame from their face with their $100 bills.
So if I have to eliminate...
So sorry, Jason.
If I have to eliminate one color, obviously you got to eliminate all the implications, right?
You've got no blue. You're not going to get any purple stuff either, right? I don't think you want to go that the implications, right? You've got no blue.
You're not going to get any purple stuff either.
I don't think you want to go that far.
Not that far.
Okay.
So you're just eliminating.
What's a color you don't like?
Yellow.
Yellow is kind of nasty.
Well, I feel like if I eliminated yellow, I would always believe I'm healthier.
Because you know what I mean?
I want to know why.
Well, when you look at your urine.
A pee problem?
Well, I'm just saying if it's really yellow, I think, oh, I need to drink more water.
I'm dehydrated.
So you'd like to be deceived?
I would like to believe in myself.
Usually when your pee's that yellow, there's another spider sense tingling in your nostrils
saying there's a problem here.
That's true.
Oh, where's...
Honey, go smell this.
Is it poison?
Am I peeing poison? What? It's true. Oh, where's... Honey, go steal this. This is poison. Am I being poisoned?
What?
It's back.
It's not going away.
It's not going away.
That tangles the nostrils.
Tangles?
It tangles them.
Oh, my goodness.
If you can't...
Okay.
Well, before I ask this question...
These guys are allergic to grizzly bears.
What color is the sun?
Yellow.
Okay, because that's what I think of, too.
So if you say, I can't see yellow anymore, now what does the sun look like?
Just so you know, I don't stare at the sun.
I don't ever look at it.
The color of the sun doesn't affect me as much as how it lights things up.
Right.
Just saying.
This is a weird question, because just eliminating one color.
Yellow was my initial thought
If I can't see yellow anymore
Then that happens
Now it does say you will no longer see one color
Does that mean those things become invisible?
That's true
I am just curious about that
That's basically what I was asking
And also I wouldn't want to eliminate anything
In the traffic light category, right?
Because that could be a problem.
It basically has to go grayscale.
I think that's what has to happen.
Okay.
That's all I mean.
It can be brighter or darker.
I think the world would...
I already don't see color, Mike.
I think that the world would almost unanimously remove yellow.
I think it's the most hated color.
I enjoy it.
Is that because of the flavors?
No, it's everything that's yellow is a crappy flavor.
That's not true.
Banana is a great flavor.
I'm just thinking of lemons are great.
No, it's because of Pete.
It's 100% because of Pete.
Don't eat the yellow snow.
That's Pete. Yellow is bad because of Pete. That's eat the yellow snow. That's Pete.
Yellow is bad because of Pete.
That's 100% true.
The only two colors you're going to eliminate are yellow and brown,
and you know why.
I mean, let's be honest.
All right. Yeah, because grayscale poop.
What color is this
in the toilet?
The toilet?
I like how much you like yourself i really enjoy it i'm real
well listen the rest of the show you should you should read this next great question it comes in
from abigail so it might as well be in that voice oh from abigail on the website if you could
arrange for any living person in the world to hear a full episode of Spitballers Podcast, who would it be and why?
Okay.
Why didn't you turn into Harry Caray at the end?
Yes.
That doesn't make sense.
One living person to hear a full episode of the show.
Okay.
That's an interesting question because there's a lot of different ways you could go.
What popped into your head first?
Because there were two things for whatever reason it was the queen and the pope
wow i don't know why i would not want the pope to listen to an entire episode of the spin ballers
but it's almost like i just want to see what would happen does the is the pope allowed to laugh or
does he just like move his shoulders his shoulders move up up and down. I'm pretty sure the Pope's job is not to just be not enjoying things.
I'm amused.
Why is he moving his shoulders like that?
Because he's holding the laugh back.
You think he would laugh at us?
His shoulders would move at least a little bit.
You ever drink?
Hey, Pope.
You ever drink, Pope?
Of course he'd laugh at us.
I don't know why the Queen and the Pope popped into my head first.
It's like two names.
Queen?
I don't know why.
Because I'm thinking of our show as, believe it or not.
No.
This is going to be hard to hear for both of you.
All right.
As slightly, kind of, sort of.
Careful.
Careful.
Elementary. I accept. Careful. Careful. Elementary.
I accept.
Yeah.
Okay.
Childish?
Okay.
So then I'm trying to think of the most opposite to that to see if I can make that person laugh. Okay.
I was going to say it so that you feel like if you make the queen break.
Oh, wow.
If the queen approves this podcast podcast we're getting at least 50 more
listeners if we could get the entire queen's guard or two less because the royal family's
getting smaller if you got the queen's guard to have airpods and they all had to listen to this
episode and never once break you know the queen's guards the ones who can't move i think those are
the ones that are not allowed to move or laugh or break or anything you can go right up and yeah
they're nutcrackers yeah you can lick their face and they just they're i don't think you can lick
their face i think they're watch watch me i think if you physically touch them they're allowed to
fight back that's fair that's fair i haven't tried it yet uh i don't recommend it but um he would
sit there and he'd be like i'm gonna lick your face i'm gonna lick your face right now The first two things that came to mind
For me
You want all them nutcrackers?
I want that guy to listen to the podcast
He'd love it
Yosemite Sam
So like I think to myself
I want like the dude perfect guys
To listen
Just so we can become best friends.
Yes.
Those guys are awesome.
Let's do a home and home.
We'll go on your show.
You come on our show.
Same benefit.
Even Swapski.
We have a 12 in our listenership, too.
That's right.
Like a dozen to 12 million.
I think you should make an official offer.
I think that's a fair offer. To Mr. Dude?
We give you permission to listen.
It's Mr. Perfect. Oh.
Mr. Perfect's a wrestler.
I'm perfect.
Only you know that, Mike. Or Lorne Michaels also comes to mind.
Hey, Lorne. You out there? Alright.
Alright.
Do you have anybody that pops into your head, Mike?
Just like the weird thing that you had of trying to make the queen laugh.
Yeah.
I was like, I think we can make Elon Musk laugh.
Oh, I don't want to watch him laugh.
I feel like that would be like a disturbing.
What would his laugh sound like?
What does a robot look like?
You haven't heard his laugh?
No.
Oh, it's got to be nerdy.
It's a real nerdy laugh.
I saw a GIF of him dancing the other day.
It was real special.
The laugh is better than the dance.
Possible not to be.
Life advice?
All right.
It's been a while.
Spitballers to the rescue.
I almost jumped in there.
I forgot that it that he says
dustin from twitter when the waitress asks the question is this together or separate
what is the standard protocol who speaks first is it who invited who or the oldest or the most people in the party or what?
What is the protocol?
Okay.
I see what's going on here.
I feel like it's usually the one in charge.
And by that, I mean, you know what I'm talking about.
You're at dinner and there's the one that's in charge.
And maybe there's two ones in charge.
That's what I think what he's asking for.
Because sometimes you have the two people.
Because by in charge, you mean just the one driving the conversation?
I think it's beyond that.
You're jockeying for a position of this class warfare at the restaurant?
I think it would be zombie apocalypse comes, who's our leader?
Okay.
The same exact, these are mirror questions of who decides who's going to split the check.
But now I have a question for you.
Okay.
Let's say you are following said leader.
We'll just call him Rick Grimes for now because you brought up the zombie
apocalypse.
You're at dinner with Rick Grimes.
He is this leader that you're talking about and of,
of the dinner,
the check comes out and Rick Grimes says,
Oh no,
we're going to split.
Yeah.
Now what's your opinion of Mr.
Rick Grimes?
Cause it's no longer favorable.
You trust your leader.
Yeah.
Then we split.
That's my point. Here's what I, he doesn't pick it up we split so mike mike's version of a leader is somebody who
pays the bill you're darn right so you need them to pay for you here's what i'm curious about though
you want to lead i really want to know the protocol here because i feel a when i go out with
a group even if we are going to split the bill,
I feel this sense of obligation.
I'd like to make it as easy as possible on the waiter or waitress.
So I prefer to just one person pays the bill.
Everybody else can sort it out later.
Interesting.
Because when I go out with certain people, we just sell each other money
or the cash app or whatever.
And then, you know.
I mean, the real solution to this problem is.
Because people sit all over the place when you split up parties.
Yes.
I mean, that can be an issue.
But I feel like usually this is just preparation.
This is you sit down when you order and you say, we're on two separate tickets.
Let's put our order in first.
Then it's easier for the wait staff.
Still a little more work.
Then having to do.
What's easier, one order or two orders?
One ticket or two tickets?
For me?
No, not for you.
For them.
It's the same amount of ease.
For them.
Jason's order is two orders.
Right?
He always gets two tickets.
Mason's order is two orders.
Right?
He always gets two tickets.
So I, yeah, I'm going to say that you should say up front,
whether it's together or separate.
And if you don't establish that,
the person who would lead you in an apocalypse makes the decision.
And whatever they say goes, period.
All right. I'm going to just go with that advice there.
I'm going to move on to another question.
You guys don't see it because it's very timely,
and I need to know the answer to this.
Oh.
Because you guys might have seen the video,
and I was really surprised that it was dividing the internet.
Oh, my goodness.
And I'm curious.
If it is what you're talking about i don't so
there's a video out there right now of a gentleman who is sitting in the back dare you call him a
gentleman i agree with you oh i know the video there is a man who is sitting at the back of a
plane his seat does not recline the woman in front of him has chosen to recline her seat
he has chosen to repay her her seat. He has chosen to
repay her by punching the back of her seat over and over and over again. And over and over and
over. Now, clearly, we would all agree, based especially on Mike's reply there, that this man
was in the wrong because he was acting like a child. He was abusing this woman's right to her
seat in space, and it was ridiculous. And obviously, a lot of people have come out and said like look if this is a 250 pound man in front of him there's no way he's doing this
because this guy's going to get up and punch him in the face 100 so he's a beaut you know i think
we all agree that that man in that instance is in the wrong but if you read people's comments
reddit twitter everywhere else not defending him But the debate is whether it is actually allowed to ever recline a seat ever in an airplane.
And the majority opinion that I've read is that it is rude.
It is considered rude.
And you should never, ever recline your seat ever.
The vocal minority.
And it was shocking to me because I didn't know this.
The vocal minority on this topic was unbelievable. When I saw it and I looked at her post and the first like 50 responses were just lambasting her for reclining into his space.
And I'm like, re.
So I don't.
What?
I don't even.
I don't want to like try him and her.
I just want to ask the question of actual plane etiquette.
I just want to ask the question of actual plane etiquette because a lot of people that fly a lot, they say it is rude to recline at all or they say it is rude to recline if your flight is under four hours.
So basically, because you can't – and there are products out there that you can buy.
Yes, I've seen those.
That you can hook onto the tray that will stop the seat from moving backwards.
So you're saying you can buy a product that stops the seat from doing what it was designed to do.
Now, that would be one person's opinion, that it is designed to recline.
Therefore, it is your right to recline.
That's how I've always approached it.
If someone in front of me is reclined, I have never once thought they're evil because I'm like, I might think to myself, that sucks because I'm tall.
But there are people out there that think,
and I would say it's the majority,
believe that it is rude to recline at all.
It should not be an option on an airplane.
Obviously, we know plane space is minute.
You have no room.
People need to move around.
Deep vein thrombosis could get you.
So what do you think?
What is the right life advice etiquette?
If you're on a plane- Are you allowed to recline?
Are you allowed to recline?
100% you are allowed to recline.
And this is coming from, I'm not a-
You're a tall man.
I consider myself slightly above, what's the average height?
Average height is actually short.
Is it 5'9 or 5'10?
I think it's 5'9.
So the average height of a man...
Oh, this can't be right.
5'6". No.
That's bad information.
Great. Even better for my argument.
Sorry. 5'9".
In America.
That sounds about right.
I guess that would make me tall, because
I'm 6' tall.
You are way taller than six feet.
I'm almost six feet, but I say six feet because I'm not one of the guys.
I don't round up.
I'm 5'11 1⁄2", and you're two inches taller than me.
Okay.
You're 6'2".
Back to the argument is I'm tall.
Sitting in an airplane, it sucks.
It's uncomfortable.
If someone reclines in front of me that is 100 what they
are allowed to do i don't get upset with them i recline my seat but that's what i do but then
the question becomes in the back row guess what person you should have bought your ticket earlier
you should have got to the airport earlier don't get mad because you were the procrastinator
now some of the maybe
there's things out of your control that you had to get a last second flight mike you had to do it
i i just don't think i've ever heard you speak wiser or more truth into this is fantastic than
this because that's that person's fault yes you you got the crappiest seat well as far as i'm
concerned if they're if the plane puts a button button in your armrest to allow you to do something with your seat, it is within your rights.
Now, if you want to be considered...
Are you allowed to go to the bathroom on a plane?
It might smell bad.
Do they have bathrooms on the plane?
Yes, I'm allowed to use it.
If the button is there...
No, no two skis on the plane.
This can be a very golden rule situation
right if you don't want people to recline on you you can choose not to recline out of consideration
that's very kind of you i hope you sit in front of me exactly now now there are people you could
also be polite and ask somebody like hey i would you mind moving it up you could ask i mean that
you can do that there was somebody that i read that every time the person in front of them
reclines their seat, they aim their air on the top of their head.
And I would say, thank you.
Thank you for making my flight even better.
I guess some people don't like that.
And so when the person finally says, don't do that, they're like, well,
I will trade you not aiming it at you for moving your seat back up.
Honestly, people are not great.
People are very strange.
The time where I will be considerate of thinking about the person behind me when it comes to
reclining is if there's an actual food service.
Oh, for sure.
I'm not talking about they've come through with the sodas and the peanuts, but if there's
an actual meal, and I don't even know if we really do that anymore, but if there is a meal time that's happening for everybody, I will move my chair up.
I feel like that should be an announcement on the plane.
Yes.
Like, please raise your chairs up for meal service.
Just to be fair, the logic you applied to being able to recline your seat applies equally for meal service.
You have the ability and capability.
And I'm just saying that's when I will take it into account.
But if the person in front of me keeps their chair reclined the entire time.
Even during the meal service?
Yeah.
Then that's their right to do that.
You don't punch their seat over and over again forever?
How could you not do that?
No, because I'm not five years old.
Yeah.
I luckily, maybe where I was looking, I didn't find people defending his actions.
I saw people saying, yeah, she's not being considerate, but not that she deserved to have her seat punched.
Oh, I saw so many people say he was doing the right thing.
It's sweeping the internet.
I can't fathom that anyone is on that side.
It's unbelievable, but they're out there.
All right.
They're just not spit wads.
Yeah.
Yeah. All all right moving on
the spitballers draft all right we've done one of these style drafts before it was a whole lot
of fun we did uh nfl mascot battle royale so we were drafting nfl teams by their mascot we each get four picks
we're thrown into a coliseum man this coliseum is getting a lot of work yeah right but we should
just buy it great staff yeah we shouldn't be renting i don't know why we're renting this
point that's embarrassing it's expensive though to buy a coliseum to be honest uh
maybe we can get some of that dude perfect money we can get a coliseum, to be honest. Maybe we can get some of that Dude Perfect money and we can get a Coliseum.
Mr. Dude.
But we're doing NBA mascot
Battle Royale. You can pick from every
NBA team. Like the
Jazz. You can go with the Jazz.
I did get a quartet my last time
around with the Bills. Now, I've decided not
to really think much about this
draft, even though I have the first pick.
Perfect. Because I would like to let it come to me.
This Battle Royale situation,
I'm fighting Mike, I'm fighting Jason.
I need to be able to react
to the picks that you make
and counter them.
Good luck reacting to the pick I have not made.
Now, there are several that I would think about
for the first pick in the draft.
There's only one I get to select.
And I'm going to go with the
Washington Wizards.
I'm going to take Magic
because I know how important these Coliseums
and Magic seem to be.
I'm going to have a team of
Wizards because it's plural.
I get several Wizards.
And they're going to be my
front line in this battle.
I assumed that that would be my pick.
Because I thought that while that is a good pick, I didn't think that either of you would want that as tops.
I have it very high on my list.
But it wasn't, in fact, my number one pick.
So I assumed it would be my third.
But I do believe that it is the best pick.
Because who's top of the food
chain mike in what in right earth earth humans correct why because we have weapons because
they're not wizards weapons uh what's better a gun or a wand i mean if it was real honestly
a wand i think it's a wand sure but my point is if you've got a team. I think it's a wand. Sure, but my point is, if you've got a team of wizards.
It's a wand.
Yeah.
So I'm going with the wizards.
Maybe.
I understand.
Look, there are a lot of different teams.
There are a lot of different ideas and concepts.
I'm looking forward to the arguments behind your picks,
but I think my argument is very simple.
It is.
I have a team of wizards with magical powers.
Go on.
It is outstanding.
Now, they used to be. Jason, you brought. It is outstanding. Now, they used to be.
Jason, you brought up the guns.
I mean, they used to be the Washington Bullets.
Yes, and they upgraded.
So they pivoted to the wizards.
All right.
Well, my first pick will be full of clever girls.
Hmm.
I thought that would, yeah.
Because I will take the Toronto Raptors.
I like that pick.
That was my number two.
That was definitely my number two.
You have a bunch of Raptors in the Coliseum.
It seems very...
I've seen enough Jurassic parks to know that the Toronto raptors would be apex predators
if they were around today, even above human beings.
I agree.
And that's why...
Humans try to control them and they lose every time.
My wizards would likely not try to destroy them, but rather cast a spell and ride them.
That would be their plan.
So you've got the Raptors as your first pick.
I've got the Wizards.
Jason, you're sitting there.
You've got two picks that will both be not quite as good.
That's 100% true.
I mean, that's the clear 101 and 102.
Those are the picks.
You could go.
What is a Knickerbocker?
I mean, you could go the New York Knicks.
I always assumed knickerbockers were underpants.
Those would be knickers.
I think that is correct.
I have no idea.
Close enough.
Yeah.
Those would be like your knickers.
There are.
Yeah, my knickerbockers.
Yeah.
I'll take the Miami Heat.
Listen, knickerbockers or knickers are a form of men's trousers.
Yes.
Wait a minute. Wait, then the New York knickerbockers or knickers are a form of men's trousers.
Wait, then the New York knickerbockers are underwear?
The New York undies.
Now, wait.
This website says that, and this website is the NBA.com.
Wait, the NBA.com?
No, no, no.
NBA.com.
Okay.
The term knickerbockers traces its origin to the Dutch settlers who came to the New World.
Specifically, it refers to the style of pants they wore.
Wow.
So it is 100% exactly what you think.
When you're in a battle royale, you don't want to have your stuff hanging out.
No.
You got to cover up.
So I'm tempted, but I think I might get that. You've got a
twofer though, so you could
take someone and then clothe them.
You could go Knickerbockers and Jazz.
Jazz sues the Savage Beast.
I don't know my second pick yet, but I know my
first one.
We've got Jay Grizz, who
gets a lot of love around these
parts. I thought this was going to be my pick.
I was hoping that would be your pick so I could get the raptors, but I'm definitely
going Memphis Grizzlies because some grizzly bears in there.
Yep.
I mean, if you've got to fight some raptors and some wizards.
Yeah, why not have a grizzly?
I would like some grizzly bears, please.
Okay.
Now, here's where it gets.
I'm taking the poison.
I'll take the New York allergies.
Oh, man.
This gets really tough.
It falls off a cliff from here.
What?
To me, it does.
I've got two more that I really want, so I hope you don't take them.
So I'm going to.
All right.
Let's hear it.
All right.
I'm going to go a different direction.
I'm going to.
Before you let him say, I know, but I just want to say, like, I'm with you that there
are some picks in here that my brain can justify this as this should have been the first pick
taken overall.
Right.
Because if you really think about it, you're OP.
Yeah.
But let's hear your pick.
So this is weird, but I don't know how you're going to fight me.
I know how I'm going to fight you.
Yes.
Yes.
And I am taking the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Oh, no.
Not at all.
Oh, crap.
Oh, crap.
That's not lightning lightning that is not lightning
boom boom boom i'm gonna scare you with those loud cracks yeah you've got some you startle me
if we have any babies or small animals... Why are they the thunder?
Why are they the thunder?
And why is Thor then the god of thunder?
That's a great question.
That's so stupid.
He controls the sound, but I see him with the lightning.
So your brain associated Thor with thunder, so you thought you had lightning?
Yes, I wanted to strike lightning down on you guys.
You can't attack me. I can attack attack you but thunder is just the sound i am an idiot you realized it quick
though i but i realized that after an official declaration of my draft pick and i knew you guys
would not let me out of that that was the worst possible timing so you have the grizzlies and
then you also have some some thunder really loud noises you better get headphones for your own team man all right mike you're off to a good start
all right leave all of those type of things for me then i will i will do that all right I don't know how I'm going to use this next teammate of mine,
but the definition of...
Uh-oh, that's a good start.
Well, I just want to make sure that I'm doing a counter-argument
before the argument comes.
Webster's defines this as a good pick.
No, it is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft, or other vehicle.
These are all the things that it could be.
You're going with the rockets.
I will take the Houston rockets.
That was basically like my thunder pick.
But a good one.
Except like...
Except I have missiles.
Yeah, I was thinking lightning.
But the thing is, is once your missiles go, they're gone.
You know what I mean?
Like that's why I wanted the thunder.
I didn't.
I wanted lightning.
Let me ask you this, Jason.
If we're in a coliseum, how many missiles do you think I need?
Well, there's some collateral damage issues that you could have.
As long as I have one other missile still alive, technically I win.
So you're willing to take down everybody at the same time.
This team is willing to do what it has to do.
Victory at all costs. So your team is now the Raptors and the same time. This team is willing to do what it has to do. Victory at all costs.
So your team is now the Raptors and the Rockets.
Jason has the Thunder and the Grizzlies.
I have the Wizards, and now I have two picks.
Yes, that is correct.
Interesting.
Interesting, interesting.
I could blaze some trails.
That's an option that I could do.
I could make it generally warm in the Col an option. Spoiler. I could make it
generally warm in the Coliseum.
Multiple ways. You could take the
heat or the suns. Yeah, the suns is
interesting because I feel like maybe
does that mean
I get... You'd just melt the whole Coliseum.
Yeah, that's trouble.
I'm going to go with
the Warriors.
I need some front line. The Wizards, let's be honest, they're not hand- warriors okay the warriors i need some frontline like the
wizards let's be honest they're not hand to hand i need some meat shields for they need to take the
damage from the raptors while my wizards are casting spells but now i'm actually gonna go
oh man oh that's right you get. I almost threw up my pick.
You almost threw it out. You almost pulled the haul away.
I am going to make a mistake.
But I don't want you to have this pick.
Oh.
So I'm going to take it, and I'm going to give it to my Warriors.
I'm taking the Orlando magic.
I'm giving the magic to the warriors.
Now my wizards and my warriors, they both got magic.
I would have taken the magic.
That would have been my next pick.
I'm worried about somebody countering my wizard.
So I need the magic.
I thought you were going to give your warriors nets.
I thought about it.
I really did.
I thought nets would come back to me in the last round, to be honest with you. I think it it. I really did. I thought nets would come back to me in the last
round, to be honest with you. I think it will.
They will. Okay, so
I'm taking the magic because I don't want you guys to
have anything to combat my wizards with.
So I've got the wizards,
the warriors, and the magic. We'll see how much
the people respect the magic attack.
Usually they respect it a lot.
Based on
Elsa. The genie.
Based on previous polls we've had.
All right.
So I have two picks that I'm weighing, and in my head I'm fighting them against each other.
I'm running multiple scenarios, and I think at the end I just got to get the girth.
I got to get the weight, so I will take the bulls.
That's a good pick. I wanted the magic or the girth. I got to get the weight, so I will take the bulls. That's a good pick.
I wanted the magic or the bulls.
Excellent.
So Mike's team is just, I can just picture it in my mind.
It's front line.
Bulls are charging in.
Raptors are leaping in, and rockets are flying at me.
Honestly, the rockets are just the backup plan.
I'm going to go three team, and then if my three teams don't get it done...
You send one rocket in.
Well, you need a king then.
You need a king standing in the background, and he says, fire the rockets,
and then the guy looks at him and goes, but our men are out there.
I said, fire the rockets.
That's not a bad thought.
Now, that being said, if I was going to try to prevent fire all of them if i was going to try to prevent a rocket attack from killing me you want
to know what i would want uh missile defense some magic oh shields yes um but i don't have it i
don't have the magic or the wizards you You were in some trouble because you got two picks, right? Yeah, I got two bad picks coming.
So I'm just going to have fun here.
I know how badly Mike hates this.
And as the leader of his team, I want to instill terror and horror into your life.
So I am taking the Hornets.
Yeah.
I will take the New Orleans Hornets.
life so i am taking the hornets yeah i will take the new orleans hornets they might not win the fight but they will cause mayhem everywhere that's a lot of you know who the hornets will be a problem
for the warriors yes yes the war my bulls and raptors will be mostly okay yeah but the warriors
are going down to the hornets they're just running running. They're gone now. Bulls, Raptors, Warriors, they all got eyeballs.
And those Hornets, they shoot their shot.
That's fair.
Yes, I wanted the Hornets with my last pick.
Nice selection.
Now we have a problem.
Now you could get some nuggets.
Hey, look, money wins wars, right?
Pistons.
Take the gold nuggets and then...
Is there anything you can combine with thunder that might make thunder valuable?
Yes.
Lightning.
Magic.
Oh, dang it.
But you took it.
Yeah.
All right.
So at this point, I'm just seeing how big a gap I can lose by.
You could throw some spurs out there on the field for people to step on.
Well, I don't want the Warriors to also have spurs,
so maybe this is like a keep away game.
Yeah, go for it.
Man.
Why are the Celtics called the Celtics?
And why are they not the Celtics?
Yeah, because isn't what they are the Celtics?
Isn't that what the Celtics are? They definitely use a shamrock. Aren't they named are the Celtics? Isn't that what the Celtics are?
They definitely use a shamrock.
Aren't they named after the Celtics?
I thought so.
And it's spelled like the Celtics?
It sounds like whoever owned the team at one time didn't know it was pronounced Celtics.
And he said, oh, we're the team Celtics.
And then everyone around is like, oh, okay.
Just go with it, man.
Don't do anything.
All right.
So in this case, I am going to have to select a team and i'm between two and i'm gonna do a quick uh look
of what one of them is the name has a great basketball tradition from the old
original celtics in new york and and Boston is full of Irishmen.
Yeah, it's also known as Celtics.
Celtics.
Yeah, that's what they say.
All right.
I am going to take the Bobcats because a nice warrior.
Oh, gosh.
You sound so defeated.
Well, I've lost.
You just took a tiny kitty cat.
Do you know how big a Bobcat is?
Pretty small.
I mean, they could do some work, but literally one-on-one, a person can defeat a bobcat.
19 pounds.
The bobcats?
Wait.
I don't think they're still a team.
Oh, they are not.
Yes!
That's right!
So I'm back on the clock!
Yeah, you're lucky.
That's right.
You didn't draft a 19-pound cat.
For the record, I am drafting based on a list Andy gave me.
So thanks for that.
Wow, good call, Brooks.
The judge just getting it done over there.
In that case, I'm going to go with hopefully a larger animal.
I have no idea how big.
That's right.
The hornets are the pelicans.
New Orleans became the pelicans and the hornets went back to Charlotte.
Yes. There we go.
You can draft a pelican is what I'm saying.
The pelicans are mean.
I did not know that
bobcats are that small.
I thought I was drafting like a jaguar.
You weren't.
I was not.
How big are timber wolves?
They're a standard wolf.'s what i wanted they're a good pick they're great i was laughing at your selection of bobcats because
i was then going to take timber wolves so i far superior animal in a fight i googled timber wolves
because i wanted to see them but only thing that came up was the NBA team. I went to images, and it's just the NBA team. Kevin Garnett is humongous.
So I will take Timberwolves.
Yeah.
I think that's a great.
Thank you.
So your final team is the Grizzlies, some scary thunder, as Brooks wrote it in, Hornets, and Timberwolves.
You actually don't have a bad draft.
And the thunder itself, you know.
I'm hoping that on the polls, people are stupid as well as I am.
And they go, ooh, how are you going to defeat Thunder?
Yeah, there you go.
Because in fairness, actually, this is a great pick.
No, think about this.
This is Last Man Standing, right?
Thunder can never die?
How are you defeating Thunder?
What are you going to do?
Nothing. I win.
Eternity.
The way I picture it is you have a finite amount of Thunder cracks.
Well, no.
So you're just not going to use them?
Yeah. I'm just going to be there forever.
So he drafted clouds. That's right.
Kill me. Can't do it.
Maybe the sun will.
Well, draft it. Yeah, Mike. Draft it clouds. That's right. Kill me. Can't do it. Maybe the sun will. Oh, well, draft it.
Yeah, Mike.
Draft it.
Counter it.
All right.
I'm upset.
I was hoping I would get the Timberwolves to complete my animals and rockets team.
Yeah, we're running out of the decisive.
Yes.
Yes.
And I did.
I looked up, in fact, what is a clipper and those are like named basically after
boats ah so i thought it was not a dude running through with nail clippers how do boats work that
was your hope i was really hoping if it was a dude with nail clippers i would have drafted it
uh yeah coliseum doesn't have water in case you guys are curious. I've been there. Yes, you have.
All right, I'm going to get an aerial attack.
I'll take the Hawks.
Well, that sucks.
Yeah, they were pretty much the last.
Because the Hawks were kind of the last one I wanted,
so I will, in fact, either have to draft.
It's between the Phoenix Suns so that I can assuage any of this
thunder lasts forever thought, Or the Miami heat, if I want to stay warm.
Or what was going to be my last pick.
I'm just going with it.
I'm taking the Brooklyn Nets.
Wow.
So you're taking the Nets for the Warriors.
I am throwing.
Yeah, the Warriors now have magic and Nets.
Now, wait, are these Nets alive?
They are Nets that you toss out onto creatures. It's got ropes. Look how many animals. But these nets alive? They are nets that you toss out onto creatures.
It's got ropes.
Look how many animals.
But are they alive?
No, they're not alive.
No.
You ever seen an alive net?
No, I have not, but I've also never seen a battle royale with magic.
Look, it is not a matter of everything being alive.
It's a matter of winning, and I think I can win by throwing a net over a grizzly.
Probably not the hornets.
Timberwolves, raptors, hawks.
Throw it on thunder.
Good luck.
This is going to all be done.
I'm taking the net.
I thought you would have taken the kings
because you've got this human army.
And I feel like if you got warriors
and wizards and kings,
now all of a sudden I see not five guys out there fighting,
but I see an army.
As far as I'm concerned, the only way I'm losing with wizards on this team
is if some sort of animal gets through the warriors
and gets through the nets that I've thrown out there
and is able to eat these wizards before they can cast a long
incantation. I hope they have good
spells of protection.
Well, the first pick in the draft.
They must. Honestly, when I was
laughing talking about what pick should be
number one,
I legit think that the Suns
should be the number one pick.
How do you not win a fight?
You just gotta wait a couple billion years.
That Sun's going to burn out any minute.
You don't even have to.
You're the Sun.
When I pictured the Suns,
you can't be harmed.
I figured, you know,
you look at the basketball logo.
These are like,
they're almost like meteors coming down
onto the battlefield.
Even better.
Yeah, that's why I thought they'd be good,
but I was afraid I'd get stuck in outer space waiting
for a supernova.
Yeah, I feel like in the polls it would not perform, but in my head it's number one.
All right.
Mike, raptors, rockets, bulls and hawks, Jason, grizzlies, thunder, hornets, timberwolves.
I have the wizards, warriors, magic, and nets.
What did we learn today?
I feel like I know what Jason learned.
I learned the allergy tests are the thing of yesteryear.
They do seem a little antiquated.
I did learn that.
I also learned that you had a confusion issue with thunder and lightning.
I'm sure that happens a lot.
I mean, I know the difference.
I knew the difference.
You would have an intimidation factor without question.
Like on the pre-battle warm-up show, you would hear a lot of boom.
You'd be scared out there.
But you also can't defeat me.
It's the best pick.
All right, Mike, did you learn anything special today?
I learned that apparently a lot of people are not into reclining seats.
They think it's rude despite the fact that there is a button for me to recline.
And that Brooks can hold down a scat if he needs to.
Oh, yes, he can.
Oh, that's right.
Giggity, giggity, giggity goo.
